Rosemary Almonds
- 1/2 lb whole unblanched almond (still in their brown skin)
- 3/4 lb whole blanched almond
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast at 350u0b0F until they become fragrant and lightly toasted- about 8- 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl (big enough to hold all of the almonds).
- When the almonds are toasted done, toss them immediately with the rosemary mixture (while they are still hot!).
- Toss thoroughly.
- Let cool, and toss again to break them up a bit (the sugar will cause them to stick together until they cool, then they will stay separate).
- Store in an airtight container or serve slightly warm.
- NOTE: You can substitute any kind of nut, or a mix of nuts. Just make sure the nuts are raw and unsalted. You need about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds of nuts in total.
